UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi,
I am writing a ksh script to delete old files from directory, which will be called by several wrapper scripts parallely.
The deletion is done using find command. It is working fine. but sometimes i get the error :
The status on /home/mydir/mfgsite is not valid.

The script is like this :

find ${ArchiveDir}/${mfgSite} -type f -mtime +${ArchivalPeriod} -exec rm -f {} \;

Could u please help me to find why it is coming and any solution

Thanks in advance
Shihab

Are you running this script as root or a non-priviledged user?

If the latter applies, what are the permissions on that directory/file?

Hi,
I am the owner of the file and I have rwx permission on the directory
Interesting thing is the error comes sometimes only

Cheers

Can you run the script using set -x and give us the output ?

Lets see where exactly it is failing.
